Rules for using anti-wrinkle masks

- Preparation of facial skin.How many times cleansing is said to be the key to healthy skin. However, for some reason, many women either skip this stage or do not pay enough attention to it. Again, cleansed skin masks "work" 30% more effectively after use. Remember, before applying the composition on your face, you must first cleanse your skin with a lotion or tonic. Dirt and make-up residues on oily skin are washed off with plain water - with foam or an abrasive scrub, on dry skin.
- Preparation of the composition of the mask.In women, 45% of allergic reactions occur due to the fact that the components of the anti-wrinkle mask do not check the expiration date. And it must be done. And it is recommended to use only natural ingredients. It is a good idea to test for allergies by applying a small amount of mask to the elbow flexion beforehand. If there is no allergic reaction after 15 minutes, you can use it safely.
- Product application.The mask should be applied gently with clean hands. The mechanics are as follows: the composition is applied from the bottom up along the massage lines (from the neck to the hair line). Then move from the nasolabial folds to the ear and from the chin to the eardrum. The next layer should be applied around the lips and eyes. If the mask contains active ingredients, do not apply to the lips and eye area. After fully applying the product, inhale and exhale several times. You can lie down and close your eyes. Make sure that some face masks, especially those made from berries and fruits, are leaking, so try to protect your clothes in advance. It is recommended to put your hair in the shower cap and cover your shoulders and chest with a towel.
- The "life" of the mask.On average, it takes about half an hour to protect the mask from wrinkles, which is enough for the active ingredients to affect the upper layers of the epidermis. However, if you feel a burning sensation, itching or redness, honey, immediately wash the mask with water. In all likelihood, take a mild anti-allergy medication and consult your doctor if possible.
- The mask is removed.The ideal choice is to gently remove the mask with a damp towel or sponge, which is a so-called gentle cleansing. And only then wash with cold or warm water without using soap. If you have dry skin, the anti-wrinkle mask is washed off with warm water, but washed off with an oily product. After removing the remnants of the mask, moisturizer should be applied to the skin.
